Should overweight people be forced to lose weight to protect against Covid?

[KWill90]

Being overweight weakens your immune system. People with weaker immune systems take longer to kill viruses. This means that overweight people are contagious for a longer period of time, when compared to a fit person with a healthy immune system. Should we restrict their diets and mandate exercise to reduce the transmission window of Covid infections in overweight people?

[Levin]

I'm presuming you're writing this because you're aware of the absurdity of mandating experimental medical treatments for people who literally orient their day towards being healthy, active, and eating nutritious and antioxidant rich food.

There is far more scientific logic and evidence for mandating healthy diets and lifestyles if we want to 'save the nhs', than there is for these stupid hellish Frankenstein treatments. 160000 people die every year in the UK from heart disease alone in the UK.

Brilliant question. I wish I had thought of it. Now watch all the vaxxers squirm.
Yes, just like they have vaccine passports, there should be thin passports. You would need a thin passport to enter candy shops, donut shops, ice cream shops... etc

Biden could send out his goons door to door on a regular basis to monitor your weight.

[KWill90]

Yes! We need thin passports. Prove your weight or you're excluded from ice cream. It's for the safety of society and the greater good. I'm emailing WHO right now.

[JimBeams]

Let me know what the WHO says.

[JimBeams]

Thanks for the MHO

Wow that is really mean to say. Know what the government should do is stop making healthy food so expensive and stop putting chemicals and other crap in our food. I'm not overweight but trust me half of its due to the government and half is due to people's bad choices in life.

[KWill90]

The government doesn't make produce expensive... it's not taxed. If you can't afford it, you can buy seeds and vegetables will literally magically grow from the ground, for free. But the big people are lazy and not willing to take responsibility for themselves. It's always "But the government should take care of me!"

[Katebfun]

Listen you can't lump sum all over weight people into one category it's more complex than that. Their majority of people that are on medication that make them overweight or a disability. And sometimes people I believe have the "Fat" Gene. I've known people that are overweight eat healthy and exercise and the weight still does not come off. People have insulin resistance and their body holds on to that fat. Also people have been abused or sexually harassed and have had a hard life so they turn to food as a coping mechanism. So you can't just judge and say all fat people are lazy that's not right and inaccurate and makes you look ignorant!

[KWill90]

Ah, yes, the "fat gene". The made up gene they use to avoid taking responsibility for their choices and habits. Why didn't the fat gene exist in the 1950's? How can we give the fat gene to starving Africans? People who eat healthy and exercise properly, are not fat. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. If you eat more calories than you burn, you'll get fat. It's simple math.

A very small portion of people have health issues that prevent them from maintaining a healthy weight. The rest are just lazy and gluttonous. I don't live in America, but when I visited there, half of the people i saw were overweight. Do Americans have special fat genes and diseases that the rest of the world doesn't have? Or is it because the American diet is based on processed foods?

[Katebfun]

Look at siblings for example. I've seen many where one is natural skinny and has a fast metabolism and the other sibling is active and eats healthy but is overweight. I see it all the time, the fat one got the fat Gene and they struggle. maybe even their whole life with the weight.

[KWill90]

Why do only American siblings suffer from the fat gene? And just because they're siblings, doesn't mean they have the same lifestyle. One may play sports while the other reads comic books. Big difference. Scientifically, factually, biologically, there is no fat gene. It's just a made up excuse.

[Avicenna]

No, that sort of totalitarianism is illegal and totally unnecessary. Where is your proof that overweight people actually transmit the virus more than those who aren't overweight?

And who is going to oversee all of this?

[KWill90]

WHO and the government can oversee it. They know what's best for us.

[Avicenna]

That is beyond naive.

[KWill90]

Naive and stupid.

[Lliam]

Only unhealthy, overweight slobs who insist that it's other people's duty to protect them. Let them get the eugenics jab themselves, and STFU. That way, if covid doesn't kill them, the jab will. In the meantime, they can be quarantined on mandatory diets and exercise.

Beyond that, healthy people have nothing to fear from covid, especially if they go to the trouble of gaining access to ultra safe and effective treatments like Ivermectin and/or HCQ+zinc if they become infected.

[humanearth]

No, where the freedom of choice, sounds more like a dictorship then freedom

[SaoirseS]

Yep it does.

[KWill90]

That's true. Your health is none of the government's business. They shouldn't be allowed to force you to go on a diet, or inject yourself with experimental vaccines.

[wankiam]

and thin people may be anemic. obesity is a societal creation so maybe dont victimize the victim and no im not overweight. i just have a sense of whats fair

[rcljr]

Should skinny pieces of shit be force fed baked potatoes to bull up so they can actually HAVE an immune system that works.

[KWill90]

Baked potatoes? That's the best you could come up with? Silly boomer lol

[Iron_Man]

They need to be encouraged to lose weight for their own health

[SaoirseS]

The key word here being encouraged 😀

[Iron_Man]

@SaoirseS yes

[KWill90]

Can we at least force all of the McDonald's to temporarily close to protect them?

[SaoirseS]

Can we deny some people Internet access for their own good?

[KWill90]

@SaoirseS Okay, I'm encouraging you to go on a diet. Do you accept?

[SaoirseS]

I weigh less than 90 pounds and my doctor wants me to gain. I’m fine.

[Feelicks]

Yes they should be put in giant hampster wheels and harnessed for electricity which can be used by nearby twinky factories.

[OddBeMe]

Yes. But should we prioritize it over vaccinations? Hell no! The key to this pandemic ain’t Zumba classes.

[KWill90]

You would support the government controlling people's eating habits and activity levels? You really want the government to be your mommy for some reason. A Covid vaccine advocate that supports totalitarianism, makes sense. Why don't you just move to China?

[OddBeMe]

I’m for the govt incentivizing good health and making vegetables available in poor neighborhoods (which there aren’t any). Just like incentivizing vaccinations with laws like only vaxxed can be in public.

[Jigokushoujo]

How? How are you going to force that? We can't even get half these people on board with mitigating/preventative measures as easy and simple as wearing a mask. I thought herding cats was a challenge...

[SmokinAces2000]

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen on here smh 😂

[jimmy2]

Look if they force shots and people go off watch overweight go off

[SaoirseS]

Nope.

[Juxtapose]

Is this a serious question?

[joeldalton]

No one should be forced to do anything, dipshit.

[Maybe-Your-Neighbor]

Nope

[anylolone]

Nope.

[Febriiiii]

Yes why not
